The donor, Mr. Miller, "builded better than he knew," and the "Henry County Institute of Sei- ence" is to-day a greater power for good than he ever anticipated.
Wayne Township.
AYNE comprises all of township 73, range 6 west, and was among the last settled, though to look at the beautiful farms and elegant farmhouses within its limits, one can but wonder why the early settlers of Henry County did not lay claim to the entire township. Among those who first came here for settlement were B., W. II. and W. S. Sicafoos, Sylvester Smith, J. Woodworth, William Morford, S. Larkins, W. Crill and P. Young. Later a large number of Swedes came, and that nationality is more strongly represented than any other at the present time.
The Central Towa, and the Burlington & West- ern Railroads pass through this township from east to west. On the former is the village of Olds, and on the latter is that of Wayne, affording mar- kets for all the produce and stock of the township. Swedesburg is another small village, consisting of a number of families mostly of the nationality of which its name is suggestive. A large and flourish- ing Swedish Lutheran Church, together with a school, is maintained here. The Friends have for- merly been well represented here, but are being bought out from time to time by the Swedes, who are probably now in a majority in the township.
